LOVE IS CONSIDERATE / Love Is Patient And So Am I / I Believe

This is the 6^th of 6 devotions and music videos
with the theme from Galatians 5:22 and 1 Corinthians 13:4

"Love Is Patient”
And

“The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Longsuffering Patience"

LOVE IS CONSIDERATE
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from 1 Timothy 3:3)

During my husband's teenage years, he spent his summers traveling with an on the road bible school. The leaders of the youth group were ministers and college professors who donated their summers to train youth in ministry. While being trained to witness on the streets one day, He tells about meeting a Hindu family from India. He introduced himself and asked them if they had ever experienced Jesus coming into their hearts. They promptly informed him that they had their own religion. He was not offended nor did he feel confrontational. He showed interest in their statement by asking them about their religion. After they shared with him about their beliefs, he asked them, “Would you allow me share with you why I believe Jesus is the only way to God and to heaven?” They listened intently. I do not believe they would have listened to him if I had not shown interest in them and in their religion.

My Confession

I am not argumentative or confrontational. I am gentle and considerate. I am not quarrelsome but I am peaceful. I am not insistent that I am always right. I am developing a willingness to reason with others. I am learning not to force my opinion on others. I am not afraid of disapproval. I do not operate in fear. Being considerate promotes peace and I am a peacemaker. I do not violate the law of love.

Father, I interact with people all day. Some people don’t share the respect and honor that I have for You. But all people need you. I honor You today by being considerate and peaceable to all people. I respect You, Lord, with the words that come out of my mouth and with my opinions and thoughts. I respect people today by the way I communicate with them and by my actions. I want to communicate peace and love. I want people to feel Your love when they talk to me. Work this balance of boldness and being considerate in me so I can make
a difference to people who cross my path!

THE FACES OF PATIENCE / I'm Waiting

This is the 5th of 6 devotions and music videos

with the theme taken from
Galatians 5:22 and 1 Corinthians 13:4
The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Long suffering Patience
And
Love Is Patient

THE FACES OF PATIENCE
by
Rebecca Cooley
(James 1:4; 1 Corinthians 13:4; Galatians 5:22)

Patience has two faces. Patience can be associated with mildness, temperance and humility in a person’s life. These attributes in one’s life are commendable but patience is also a powerful force that the enemy cannot stop. When patience and love are coupled together, it is an energy and strength directly from the heart of God that can move heaven and earth.

The ultimate example of patience is Jesus waiting on the Father to open the gates of heaven for His bride. This patient endurance is passing the test of time and one day the Father will say to His Son,

“Your patience has had its perfect work! Go and get your bride!” At that moment, patience and love will embrace with a force so tremendous that it will break the eastern skies, thunder will roll, lightening will crash and the bride will meet Jesus face to face!

We, the bride of Christ, have to patiently wait on the Father also. While we are waiting patiently on our Lord coming for us, our patience is a key to walking in love. Our display of patience with people can unlock the door to the Kingdom of God for them. It is a spiritual force that can also move heaven and earth in a man’s heart!

Father, I want You to say to me one day that my patience did a perfect work in someone’s life. I want You to be able to say that you moved a mountain for someone because of my patience unlocking the door of love and letting that person in. Thank you Lord for Your work of patience in me.

I’M WAITING

(James 1:4; 1 Corinthians 13:4; Galatians 5:22)

Verse:

How long must I wait?

As long as it takes

I’m not givin’ up before the break-through

It will not be late

The answer will come

Just on time for those who wait

Chorus:

I’m waiting

I’m not moved by what I see

I’m waiting

I’m not moved by what I hear

I’m waiting

I’m not moved by what I feel

I let patience have it’s perfect work in me

My faith is now renewed

Let patience have it’s perfect work in You

Bridge:

Thank you Lord for Your long-suffering

So many times

You waited and waited and waited for me

A WIN WIN SITUATION / Let Patience

Brought to you by our
LoveWalkMonthlyPartners

This is the 4th of 6 devotions with the theme from
Galatians 5:22 And 1 Corinthians 13:4

"Love Is Patient”

And

“The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Longsuffering Patience"

A WIN WIN SITUATION
by
Rebecca Cooley

(James 1:4; Romans 5:3; 1 Corinthians 13:4; Galatians 4:22)

There are virtues in my life that I would not have gained except by way of tribulation and difficulties. Some of the trials were major ordeals but most of the challenges I have incurred over the years were common everyday occurrences turned into challenges. It is how I chose to process the trials that turned them into virtues in my life.

James tells us that when our faith is tested, it is an opportunity for patience and endurance to grow in our hearts. As patience begins to grow in our hearts and in our personalities, it develops and becomes stronger. The ultimate goal is for a completeness and fullness to occur and become our inspiration to love others.

Father, thank you for every test of patience, every day
whether sent by you to develop a quality in me that I didn't have or by the enemy to try to make me fail. It is a win-win situation because the trial will produce patience in me and patience is going to have it's perfect work in me!

"Love Is Patient”

And

“The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Longsuffering Patience"

WALK OUT LOVE
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from 1 John 4:18 - 20)

Father, I am learning to abide in you. I refuse to strive or struggle today. I believe LOVE expels fear! I believe LOVE drives away dread! I believe LOVE moves panic and worry. You are LOVE. You abide, live and dwell in me. Therefore LOVE abides in me. I submit all that I am to You now. Your love subdues all corruption in me and tames all dishonesty and fraud in me. Your love is working powerfully in my life today. I rest today in the love of my Almighty Savior. I relax today in your love! I revel today in the conscious joy of my complete salvation. I am complete in You today. My salvation frees me from sin and corruption! I am set free to abide in you! This is the dawning of a new day for me. I embrace today as a day to abide in you and walk in love.

I embrace this season as a new day dawning to a sea of love from which I have only taken a tiny sip. Father, lead me into the realization of your unfathomable fullness as I abide in you, lean on You and learn to walk in love. Concerning Long-suffering Patience, Your long-suffering patience is in me, therefore I take the time to listen to others and then listen for what Your Spirit has to say. I take the time to patiently minister from your heart to the heart of others. Love through me.

LOVE WALK

(Adapted from 1 John 4:20)

Verse

If I say “I love the Lord”

Yet I hate my brother I’m tellin’ a lie

If I do not love my brother whom I can see

How can I say “I love the Lord”

Who’s not right here in front of my eyes to see

Chorus

I’m workin’ on a love walk everyday

When life happens to me I put away hate

I’m workin on a love walk along the way

I slow down

Take the time to love, Take the time to love,

Take the time to love

A DIVINE APPOINTMENT / Interruptions

This is the second of seven devotions

with the theme

"Love Is Patient"

And

"The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Long-suffering Patience"

A DIVINE APPOINTMENT
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from John 1:38-39)

Let’s go to the Jordan River near Bethany:

John the Baptist is standing with two of his disciples, Andrew and another man. John sees Jesus in the distant and he says, “Look! There is the Lamb of God!” The two men left John and started walking after Jesus.

Jesus was aware that the two men were following him. He turned to them and said,

“What are you looking for? What is it that you need?”

They answered, “Teacher, where are you staying?”

Jesus said, “Come and see.”

These two men went home with Jesus, stayed all day and probably spent the night.

This scene describes a servant’s heart. Jesus walked in love by not having his own agenda. He was not in a hurry. He slowed down and took time for these two men and it ended up being a divine appointment. Some people may think that Jesus knew that these men were supposed to be his disciples and were expecting them to approach him that day. Maybe, maybe not. Could it have been an interruption in his day and ended up being a divine appointment that connected him with his first team members? What if he had been in a hurry and brushed these men off?

Jesus took time to love by slowing down and taking time for these two men. God had a plan and was able to work his purpose out because Jesus was not in a hurry. It probably didn’t take long for Jesus to sense what God was doing and soon knew that these two men were special. Do you think he was glad that he took the time to love these men?

Lord, I have a servant’s heart. I pattern my life after my Savior’s. Today I will walk slowly and look for divine appointments. You may interrupt my day! I will look at people today and say,

“What can I do for you? What do you need?”

Lord, my attitude today is not what can I get done for You or what can I get done for me. My attitude today is

I will slow down and take the time to love.

Be a servant and say

What can I do for you today?

Chorus:

Walk it out

GOT PATIENCE?
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from 1 Cor. 13:4; Gal. 5:22; Luke 8:5-15)

Impatience violates love. Whatever is not undergirded by love has no value. You have to slow down and even stop to love. Patience is not skipping over any detail of the process of God cultivating the soil of our heart to receive the seed of the Word. The seed has to be planted and cultivated to bring increase.

Father, I make my heart pliable and moist with Your Word today. Make my heart flexible and workable in your hands today. I will not allow the enemy to carry away the seed of Your Word because I have withdrawn from You in a time of trial or temptation. I will not allow the anxieties and cares of life to choke and suffocate the seed of Your Word. I will allow my fruit to ripen and come to maturity and perfection! I will walk in love and confess Your Word over my life today.

My heart is good soil. My heart hears the Word and receives it gratefully. My heart embraces and clings to the Word. My heart is moist and holds the Word firm. My heart is noble and virtuous and worthy. My heart is gracious and genuine toward people today. My heart brings forth every fruit of the Spirit with patience today.
